had their wonderfully colourful Hindu Wedding in Madurai . It was held in their relative’s backyard which doesn’t sound that glamorous until you see it! The marquee they set up and all the lanterns laid around the garden turned the place into something really special. When you enter the marquee you feel as though you have been transported into an exotic place with the sea of red fabric draping every corner. The Bride was very relaxed which always make it a little easier. The Groom was also very chilled and happily went with the flow of all the customs and traditions that came with a Hindu Wedding Ceremony.An important part of the ceremony is in front of the mandap, the bride and groom greet each other by garlanding one another with a witnessed by all the guests, who stand as a sign of respect. Before this was about to take place the pandit (the priest) asks out loud ‘Where is the photographer?’, I was literally away on the ground taking photos! I had to put my hand up so he could see me, everyone laughed. I always try to be the discreet wedding photographer, the wedding is about the bride and groom, and their day with family and friends. I am there to capture the moments and the memories. If you would like to read in more detail about the Hindu ceremony I have included this at the end. Bes Candid Photography In Maduai
